.R.I.P. 3 Years Today

Heath Ledger
It's still weird to think you're gone.


And then next month its Alexander McQueen :'(


So finished and handed in my Creative Cut project.
*phew*
Now work experience for five weeks!
But first.... I'm home :D
Whoopee!

I went to London today with my friend Tea and we spent forever wandering round Libertys (me feeling up Christopher Kane's nebula collection and crying inside knowing I will never own any of it, ever, her sighing over many pairs of shoes in the shoe section, then the both of us in the vintage section ooh-ing and aah-ing over the Chanel jackets and dresses).
We also went into Selfridges and spent like an hour searching the Jean Pierre Braganza's section to then find out they had sold out! and were waiting for the delivery of the new collection! Boo :(
But I did buy What Shall I Wear Today book by Fifi Lapin:
Check her out here: Fifi Lapin
The book is amazing! I was reading it on the train home.
We then went into House of Fraser, where Tea tried on some jeans in the sale, and the service was atrocious! They didn't have enough staff to watch over the changing rooms, so I had to go find a sales person to help out this lady in one of the cubicles TWICE. Seriously! (HIRE ME)
And so that was pretty much my day! I'm pretty excited to be home. Going for a pub lunch with my bestie tomorrow :)

More soon.

Hello 2011!


It’s a new year, which means new trends, new fashion 'faux-pas', new designers, new everythinggg! But to start a new year we need to look back to the past year to see how great it was. We should never forget what we have experienced! So lets take a quick look into 2010’s fashion experiences…




We lost Alexander Lee McQueen (1969 – 2010) in February. True tragedy. He brought us armadillo shoes, dead bird dresses, skull scarves, amazing reptile digital prints and so much more.

We craved the Miu Miu prints on EVERYTHING in January/February. Zara and ASOS brought out cat print dresses/playsuits in celebration of the craze!


And then we loved everything twisted and draped thanks to Christopher Bailey at Burberry Prorsum. Which led us on to wanting everything Emma Watson wore…


From Burberry Prorsum to Christopher Kane to Rafael Lopez, we loved them all this year! What’s to come next year?



With Risto Bimbiloski and Peter Pilotto and Christopher Kane doing nebula prints, we all fell in love with the galaxy this year. I know I went a bit crazy for them…





Chanel’s Spring/Summer made us want clogs for every outfit and Chanel tattoos…

March – When Lady Gaga had to be helped out of her outfit on a plane due to threats of DVT.
Fashion has its price!

And in May Sex and the City 2 came out. Definite fashion influence there!

And Gossip Girl came back to steal our hearts and fill our tv with plots and girly tiffs…

And in November we all ran to H&M for Lanvin’s collaboration, which near where I live sold out by lunchtime. I think Alber Elbaz did quite a good job, don’t you think?

In December at the British Fashion Awards Alexa Chung won Best Dressed, Phoebe Philo for Celine won Designer of the Year. And many other awards were handed out to people like Christopher Bailey, Alexander McQueen and Nicholas Kirkwood.


And so what will come in 2011?
We’ve had a good 2010.
Let’s just wait and see!

Thanks ebay.

For informing me it is 1 Day till Christmas.
As if I didn't know already!
I'M SO EXCITED AS IT IS!

But first a trip to visit one of my best friends and his boyfriend.
But how am I going to bare the jokes when I am not in the mood for said jokes.

And being told that I got up on the wrong side of my bed and that I should switch my bed around so that I can get out the other side is not a good enough apology.

I know I'm oversensitive but there's only so much a girl can bare.

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVEEEEE!!
My sister's going to be here later!
And the kittens are coming over too :D
They aren't really kittens anymore though....

YAYYYY!

I honestly don't understand children these days....

My best friend's little sister has opened her Christmas presents under the tree and then put them back.
Why ruin the excitement of Christmas Day?!?
I'd rather not know what I've got till Christmas Day and then when I open them be able to play with them on Christmas Day, rather than open it a week before Christmas to then not be able to play with it till Christmas!
Children these days.


On another note I just watched the last episode of The Cut.
:(
Sadness.
It's such a cliffhanger and it probably won't be on ever again :(
I'm so gutted.
The Cut was great! I only really got into it around easter and it's been on for about a year and a half and now it's ended.
And you can't even buy it on DVD or download it, it's so sad!

And they brought back Olive for a fleeting moment just to dig the knife in deeper :'(
Oh and we don't even know if Marla actually married Elliott!!!!
Gutted :(

Marla and Elliott.
Boo :(

SAVE THE CUT!

And Ugly Betty last episode was shown the other day.
I can't believe they've ended it like that. It feels so rushed but I guess they had to.
And Miranda Series 2 is finished. And Misfits Series 2. Merlin Series 3. The Inbetweeners....
EVERYTHING'S ENDED.

Now what am I going to watch?
I'm going to actually have to do work :|
Actually I need to catch up on Gossip Girl... but I bet that's ended now too.
Geez.

SAVE THE CUT!

I'm watching a strange amount of TV......

Alesha Dixon's dress on Strictly Come Dancing was rather beautiful:

That's the best photo I can find for now.


And Chris Evans last night on The One Show was selling loads of knitted patterned jumpers:



And then he ran out of jumpers and swapped with Alex Jones....
I only watched this because of James Corden haha.

On a completely different note:

On the 14th February - Valentine's Day no less - Justin Bieber will be hitting the American cinemas in 3D for all your American girl pleasure.
Will I be seeing this when it hits England?
More than likely.
Not because I'm a die hard Belieber but because it will be slightly funny. (and I love him LOADS. ahem.)

Errrrrrrr...... switch change of subject.......

I bought X Factor tickets for my best friend and I yesterday?
(We love Matt Cardle and Aiden Grimshaw.....)

Errrrrrrr....... that's not any better is it?

Leave this post in a good light.......
Save yourself S!!!


I saw this photo in Grazia today and I did a double take... Emma Roberts and Julien Macdonald?!?! WHAT?!?
No matter how much he annoyed me to hell on Britain's Next Top Model this year, this picture of them both is cute.
And the curly hair is growing on me. Growing on me, not saying I love it.

He's starting to look a bit hipster with that hair actually.
Hmmm.

Emma Roberts looks amazing though. As per!
More people need to love her and recognise her.
She's amazing!

Anywho, bed times for me.
Lots of work to do tomorrow and coffee with a bestie :)
